In between guys, I am planning to order a Moto G4 plus for camera. The primary use is to take pics/ Videos of Toddler. Camera performance is rated pretty high everywhere though there are some heat/slow response issues. But Can't find any other alternative.

Please suggest any other phone with excellent cameras in the 20k range. Considered S7 but somehow not able to justify the expense only for the camera

If the requirement is just a camera, why not buy a compact camera ?

If a phone is really needed, then select something with OIS as you have mentioned a toddler.

What would a OIS do while capturing a toddler? OIS can help in stabilizing the shakes created due to trembling hands, thats it, its not gonna freeze the quick moving subject like a playing kid.

You need very fast lens with wide opened aperture and sensor which is capable of capturing least noisy picture at highest possible ISO.

Fully agree. OIS doesn't work for kids
My suggestion? take the kid out to the nearest croma and let him do his gig. In my subjective tests as of Apr 2015 - iPhone 6+ and Xperia Z series were way ahead of others.

"The Quadrooter bugs allow a potential attacker to gain root privileges allowing full device control by exploiting the vulnerabilities. This can be done by writing a malicious app and getting it installed on the users’ smartphone. “Such an app would require no special permissions to take advantage of these vulnerabilities, alleviate any suspicion users may have when installing,” the researchers said."

I downloaded the app and checked my s7. No vulnerabilities present thank you for the heads up!

Yes Honor 5C seems to be good in terms of performance and battery life. i wish there was a 32GB storage version though.

one option might be to get a used nexus 5x. it's also available on ebay for under 20k but they are imported ones, so you won't get warranty.

Nexus 5X's photo quality is excellent, but only if you are able to get the shot right. By the time, the phone focuses and takes the shot, my boy would be at the other side of the room. Moreover after 5-10 shots, the app becomes laggy and eventually, I have to restart the device. Hope the Nougat update fixes it.
